Liquid sunshine

Rumor has it we are getting liquid sunshine here in the Bahamas - rain and wind. The picture of the palm tree says it all! On the bright side, we did some shopping today.

Something interesting we learned in our taxi today - it is illegal for Bahamians to gamble. However, there is a casino right next door to our hotel (which we went to yesterday and lost some money on the Packer game). Mom said to the taxi driver, "how can they tell if you are Bahamian?" and the guy was like, "they look at you." Haha.

Also saw my ship today - it is massive. I suppose it makes sense because there are 700 students plus "lifelong learners" (old people who want to travel, such as Dad, but wasn't allowed to go), professors, and the crew.

Becca,
I am Cassy from Mr.Schulteis's class. The picture of the windy palm trees was great! I like reading about all of the cool places you have been to and the food that you have gotten to eat. What was your favorite meal/food you ate so far on your trip? Another question that I have is when you travel by ship do you change ships as you go to different countries or do you keep the same ship as you go along around to different countries? Hope that you have lots of fun and enjoy your trip!
